Embodiment
Please with reference to Fig. 1,2,3,4,5,6 and Fig. 7, the rig camera calibrating external parameters method of employing object of reference height of the present invention: the erection mode according to monitoring environment and video camera has designed high-precision video camera vision mode; Confirm the corresponding relation of world coordinate system 3, camera coordinate system 2 and real world according to the perspective projection model; Utilize end point far away 4, geometrical concept and the real world in end point 5, local horizon 6 interrelate down, confirm the corresponding relation of image coordinate system 1 and world coordinate system 3; In the computing method of calibrating parameters, utilize coordinate transform and the way of adding boost line, in conjunction with projection line segment end points coordinate and the true length 20 of line segment representative of object of reference in image, calculate the height 19 of video camera in world coordinate system; Utilize the height 19 of video camera and the end point coordinate far away in the image coordinate system, demarcate line segment 25, calculate video camera depression angle and video camera amplification coefficient, thereby accomplish the video camera calibrating external parameters in conjunction with the object of reference height of input.
At last, in order to verify the correctness of calibration result, the present invention has designed three kinds of measurement in space instruments: ground level distance between two points survey instrument 29, object of reference height survey instrument 30 and depth of field reconstruct framework instrument 31.Be respectively applied for the distance of measuring on the ground level between two object points, measure the plumb height of object of reference on the ground level, and video scene is carried out the three-dimensional reconstruction of world coordinates framework.Through the high measurement of length and width, and judge with reference to the goodness of fit of object whether video camera amplification coefficient, the isoparametric calculating of camera height be reasonable in framework after the reconstruct and the video.
The rig camera calibrating external parameters method of employing object of reference height of the present invention comprises:
1, with reference to the perspective projection model, coordinate system to set up mode following:
(1) make the coordinate axis of world coordinate system 3 be labeled as: Xw-Yw-Zw; The initial point of world coordinate system as shown in Figure 1 be positioned at the video camera vertical under, distance is pointed to a distant place to coordinate axis Yw, intersects with camera optical axis 14; Intersection point corresponding to image center (xc, yc).About point to right-hand to the direction level of coordinate axis Xw.Coordinate axis Xw and Yw have formed ground level.Coordinate axis Zw is perpendicular to ground level, and its direction is set out by initial point and pointed to the video camera photocentre.The world coordinates of video camera photocentre is exactly 0,0, and hD wherein hD is that video camera sets up height, sets up signal like video camera among Fig. 1.
(2) foundation of world coordinate system 3 is not with reference to the angle of inclination of parallel mark line on the real world ground; World coordinate system is that the rotation of axle is unified mutually with camera coordinate system with the vertical, and has stable angle between the real world ground flat line flag line.
(3) camera coordinate system 2 is an initial point with the video camera photocentre.Suppose when the video camera depression angle be 0, and camera height is 0 o'clock, video camera is positioned on the world coordinate system initial point straight up.The coordinate axis of camera coordinate system is labeled as Xs-Ys-Zs, and wherein the Xs axle overlaps with the Xw axle, and the Ys axle overlaps with the Yw axle, and the Zs axle overlaps with the Zw axle.When camera height is hD, be tied to a little 0,0 along Zw axle truck camera coordinate, hD.When the video camera depression angle is alpha17, be axle with Xs, the camera coordinate system alpha degree 17 that turns clockwise obtains the camera coordinate system after the conversion.
(4) the image coordinate system initial point is positioned on the camera optical axis.The plane of delineation is parallel to the picture plane, and perpendicular to camera optical axis, the image coordinate system coordinate axis is labeled as X-Y, and Y is parallel with the Ys axle, and direction is identical, and X is parallel with the Xs axle, and direction is identical, shown in shadow region among Fig. 1.Image coordinate system 1 depends on the ratio of video camera CCD sampled pixel dot spacing and corresponding imaging point actual pitch to the mapping relations of camera coordinate system 2.Through combination to several coefficients in the image transformation equation; We finally can define amplification coefficient a, the b of picture point pel spacing to picture plane distance between two points; Suppose that video camera is identical with amplification coefficient along vertical axes along the amplification coefficient of transverse axis, so only need to calculate an amplification coefficient a.
(5) according to above-mentioned vision mode we can to obtain from image coordinate system 1 to world coordinate system 3 mapping equation following
X w = b ( x - x c ) ( Z w - hD ) a cos α + ( y c - y ) sin α Y w = ( Z w - hD ) [ ( y c - y ) cos α + a sin α ] a cos α + ( y c - y ) sin α - - - ( 1 )
The transformation relation that is transformed to image coordinate point from world coordinate point can be rewritten as
x = a X w b [ ( Z w - hD ) cos α + Y w sin α ] + x c y = a [ Y w cos α - ( Z w - hD ) sin α ] ( Z w - hD ) cos α + Y w sin α + y c - - - ( 2 )
In these two relational expressions, after parameter and hD, a, b, α confirmed, these two transformation relations had also just been confirmed.Wherein hD19, α 17 are external parameters, represent the height of video camera and overlook the anglec of rotation.A and b are the amplification coefficients along two axles of image.
(6) have about world coordinate system and can mention below several definition:
Ground level 7: the plane of forming by coordinate system axle Xw and Yw.
Middle vertical plane 8: pass camera optical axis in the world coordinate system and perpendicular to the plane of ground level.
Image axis: the line of image top margin mid point and base mid point.
2, the definition of local horizon and end point and choosing as follows:
(1) described local horizon 6 is straight lines that are parallel to world coordinate system coordinate axis Xw, and local horizon 6 is the set of all perspective projection end points in image.Parallel lines parallel with ground level in the image all can intersect at the some end points on the local horizon 6 in twos.The horizontal line of the top among the description in local horizon 6 such as Fig. 2.
(2) described end point 5 down is positioned at world coordinate system Zw axle, unlimited distance under the direction, just unlimited distance under the video camera photocentre.In image coordinate system 1, the vertical extended line of all objects all can intersect at down end point 5, square doorframe or the corridor post for example vertically installed, and the extended line in its image coordinate system can intersect at down end point 5.This point is positioned on the middle vertical plane, and it is the same all can to intersect on the local horizon certain end point in twos as parallel lines all in the image, and when video camera was overlooked downwards, object of reference vertical extended line can intersect at down end point; When video camera was upwards looked up, object of reference vertical extended line can intersect at end point.Last end point is positioned at same with following end point and passes on the straight line of video camera photocentre perpendicular to ground level on how much.Among the description of following end point 5 such as Fig. 3 by under intersection point.Oblique line among Fig. 3 Fig. 4 is represented a plane 15 that is parallel to the plane of delineation, is the symmetrical mapping of the plane of delineation about the video camera photocentre.
(3) described end point far away 4 is positioned in image coordinate system on the local horizon (6).In world coordinate system, in middle vertical plane 8, making a straight line that passes the video camera photocentre and be parallel to ground level is eye-level display 16, and the extreme point that this straight line extends to unlimited distance always is exactly the implication of end point 4 far away in world coordinate system.In image coordinate system 1, end point far away is exactly this straight line and horizontal intersection point.Rotate when video camera has side direction, during over against the shooting highway, end point far away just coincides with the perspective deformation end point of the parallel lane line of highway.Description such as Fig. 3 right-of-center in political views's top-cross point of end point far away.
3, confirm that video camera is along the optical axis deflection angle
When preparing that rig camera is carried out timing signal, at first should confirm the deflection angle of video camera along optical axis, this deflection angle causes passing in image axis and the world coordinate system has a stable angle between the vertical plane of optical axis perpendicular to ground level.Can claim that this angle is the angle of inclination of local horizon in image, because video camera possibly be to be placed with at any angle, so this angle is very important.
Utilize the inclination angle, local horizon that instrument 27 is set and set this deflection angle.Two reference mark 28 that 2 conducts are parallel to horizontal straight line are chosen in suitable position in image, move the angle of two these straight lines of some adjustment respectively.Instrument can be drawn one and represent the intersection of the middle vertical plane and the plane of delineation perpendicular to the green straight line of this straight line in image, the local horizon in the world coordinate system should be perpendicular to this straight line, and is parallel to the line at two reference mark.The description in local horizon 6 is referring to the top horizontal line among Fig. 2.
In addition, according to the perspective projection image-forming principle, the object in the green line both sides should have opposite angle of inclination.After the perspective projection image transformation, the object in the visual field has nearly far away little characteristics.The object vertical extended line of both sides can point to same end point and just descend end point 5 when video camera is overlooked; The vertical extended line of both sides object can point to the same end point that goes up when video camera is looked up.Therefore the deflection along optical axis does not take place when if video camera is installed, so all can be to tilt in the projection of object in image of the video camera left and right sides.We can utilize this drop shadow effect, select appropriate control point position, and the object that makes end point far away and following end point line both sides is all to tilt, thereby definite video camera is along the deflection angle of optical axis.About the synoptic diagram of calibration tool and scaling method referring to Fig. 5, the setting of calibration line.
4, choose object of reference height calibration line
In image, because perspective deformation, can be to tilt at the object of image both sides.When selecting object of reference height calibration line end points, should abide by this deformation effect and select rational calibration point position.The pedestrian who supposes 175 centimetres of heights are arranged in the visual field is through out-of-date, and we carry out the video grabgraf when he walks about; The mid point of getting between the bipod is an end point, and the crown is the summit; The height of importing this people afterwards is 175 centimetres, has so just accomplished a calibration line.Because perspective deformation, when video camera is overlooked shooting, though this people on image left side or right side, the mid point range image axis of two pin lines all can be nearer than a range image axis.We only need to abide by these actual conditions, in image, mark the actual position on end point and summit 26.The error of demarcating like this is just from image resolution ratio with to the accuracy of estimation of true altitude value.
Usually we select at least two height to demarcate line segment, and this can adopt and from the visual field, seek moving target, repeatedly the sectional drawing way of demarcating; Also can select a plurality of actual stationary bodies in the surround of a comparison field, estimate its true altitude, demarcate.Choosing of height calibration line 9 referring to Fig. 2 and Fig. 5.
For the calculating of back, we also will form row with the height calibration line, and sort according to end point coordinate.Then, the height calibration line is carried out normalization: will represent the calibration line group of differing heights to be converted into the calibration line group of representing equal height.
5, calculate end point coordinate far away
To analyzing through the height calibration line group after the height normalization.Appoint and to get wherein two height and demarcate line segment, two summits are connected to form straight line L1, again end point is connected to form another straight line L2.Because these two straight lines are parallel lines in world coordinate system, and L2 is arranged in ground level, and so, these two straight lines can intersect at some end points on the local horizon in image coordinate system.If we are provided with the height calibration line more than 2 in this image, just can be through organizing and solve a plurality of end points in twos.Coordinate through these end points of match we can be in the hope of the equation of local horizon in image coordinate system, and obtain the inclination angle of local horizon in image according to this equation, the video camera that is used to revise the front input is along the optical axis deflection angle.Fig. 2 has described the position of end point 4 far away image from positive visual angle, Fig. 3 utilizes the side-looking visual angle to describe the corresponding relation of end point 4 far away between world coordinate system 3 and image coordinate system 1.End point 4 far away is positioned on the image axis, the intersection point that end point far away is exactly middle vertical plane 8 and local horizon 6 in image coordinate system.Because video camera causes that along the deflection of optical axis a stable angle is arranged between axis and the world coordinate system middle vertical plane; After revising according to this deflection angle reverse rotation image coordinate system; We just can be in the hope of the coordinate of end point far away, and the pixel distance at end point 4 range image centers far away.
According to 3 mapping equation (1) is as follows from image coordinate system 1 to world coordinate system
X w = b ( x - x c ) ( Z w - hD ) a cos α + ( y c - y ) sin α Y w = ( Z w - hD ) [ ( y c - y ) cos α + a sin α ] a cos α + ( y c - y ) sin α
Can find out that from following formula image coordinate y and world coordinates Yw are one to one.Work as y-y cDuring=a cot α, X w→ ∞, Y w→ ∞ that is to say, y f=a cot α+y cRepresent the image coordinate of an infinity point, i.e. an end point on the local horizon, and y fIt is exactly horizontal vertical component.Therefore, if we can obtain horizontal vertical component through other means, we just can instead release:
a?cotα=y t-y c …………………………………………………………(3)
Following formula is represented end point far away and the relation of distance between amplification coefficient and video camera depression angle.In image coordinate, y cCorresponding picture centre, a cot α corresponding from the picture centre point coordinate to horizontal vertical range.
On the other hand, work as y-y cDuring=atan α, Y w=0, promptly the pairing image coordinate vertical component of the initial point of world coordinate system also is simultaneously the vertical component coordinate y of following end point d
Therefore, the coordinate of end point far away is (x c, y t), y wherein t=a cot α+y cThe coordinate of following end point is (x c, y d), y wherein d=atan α+y c
6, calculate camera height
In the world coordinate system, we are referred to as midplane to be parallel to local horizon and the plane through the video camera photocentre perpendicular to middle vertical plane.
To any height calibration line 25, its summit is that X1 21, X2 22 analyze, and draws two boost lines 23,24 respectively through the summit 21 and the end point 22 of markings from end point far away, and these two boost lines and midplane intersect at a P1 and P2.Because these two boost lines are represented the parallel lines in a pair of world coordinate system; So in world coordinate system; These two lines not only are parallel to each other, and are parallel to middle vertical plane, and we set up equality according to P1 and P2 relation on how much in world coordinate system according to the perspective transform equation so; Height value after the substitution normalization is tried to achieve camera height 19.Fig. 4 visual angle has from the side described the method for drafting of these two boost lines 23,24 and the position of corresponding intersection point.
On the other hand, owing to set a plurality of height calibration lines, we can solve a plurality of height values, to the result of calculation of these results averaged as camera height.
Equipment choosing demarcate apex coordinate be (x1, y1), the P1 coordinate (xp1, yp1), far the end point coordinate (x0, y0).So:
(y1-y0)/(x1-x0)=(yp1-y0)/(xp1-x0)
Wherein yp1=picture altitude/2 are found the solution xp1 like this.In like manner try to achieve (xp2, yp2).According to shining upon formula: X w = b ( x - x c ) ( Z w - HD ) a Cos α + ( y c - y ) Sin α Y w = ( Z w - HD ) [ ( y c - y ) Cos α + a Sin α ] a Cos α + ( y c - y ) Sin α
Known conditions is:
Xwp1=Xwp2,
Zwp1-Zwp2=len
Wherein len is a height value of demarcating the line segment representative.
The coordinate figure of substitution P1, P2 in Xwp1=Xwp2 has just obtained camera height hD.
7, calculate video camera depression angle and amplification coefficient
In the perspective projection imaging model, the antenna height 19 and the depression angle 17 of video camera are the most basic external parameters, and there is certain functional relation in the image coordinate itself of depression angle 17 and end point 4 far away.
y t=a?cotα+y c
Analysis perspective projection imaging coordinate system conversion formula, we can extract the funtcional relationship between depression angle 17 and the end point 4 far away.Simultaneously, under the situation of camera height, we can obtain another conversion equality again according to the image mapped coordinate known, and so simultaneous solves depression angle and amplification coefficient.
x = a X w b [ ( Z w - hD ) cos α + Y w sin α ] + x c y = a [ Y w cos α - ( Z w - hD ) sin α ] ( Z w - hD ) cos α + Y w sin α + y c
In like manner, owing to be provided with a plurality of demarcation line segments in advance, can calculate manyly to the result, we average as output.Accomplish the calculating of video camera external parameter.
